I have a 1995 S14 base model. Has four lug hubs. Was thinking of going with a 5 lug hub but I have found what wheels I want.Volk wheels Anyway I'm thinking of the TE-37s in a bronze color. I want 225s in the front and either 235 or 245s in the rear. Probably 245's. I'm thinking of 16 inch because of cost but you never know maybe 17. I have koni adjustable shocks and eibach sportlines. So lets say 16x8 in the rear and 16x7.5 in the front 225s in the front and 245s in the rear. what offset would be right?

Don't quote me on this one..but...

Some people say the lower the offset the more "flush" the rim will be with the fender.

I would go with +30mm....but the rims I want are 17x7 +22mm (not Volks though).

Check the offset calculator in the FAQ, most of the information you need is there. The offset calc will tell you a lot about a wheel.-chet
